Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*

Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed and a set following interval behind a
vehicle detected ahead of yours.
Activating and Setting the Vehicle Speed
1. Press the MAIN button.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed above 25 mph (40
km/h). Press the DECEL/SET button and take your
foot off the pedal to set the speed.
Adjusting the Vehicle Speed
Press the RES/ACCEL button to increase speed or the
DECEL/SET button to decrease speed.
Each time you press the button, the vehicle speed is
increased or decreased by about 1 mph (1 km/h). If you
keep the button pressed, the vehicle speed increases or
decreases by 5 mph (5 km/h) until you release it.
Adjusting the Vehicle Distance
Press the Distance button to change the following
distance. Each time you press the button, the
following distance setting cycles through short,
middle, long, and extra long.

When in Operation
If a vehicle is detected ahead of you when ACC is
turned on and your vehicle is traveling at or below
the set speed, the system maintains, accelerates,
or decelerates your vehicle's set speed to keep your
vehicle's set following distance from the vehicle
ahead.
If a vehicle detected ahead of you slows down abruptly, or if another vehicle
cuts in front of you, a beep sounds and BRAKE appears on the multi-information
display to alert you.
WARNING
ACC has limited braking capability.
When your vehicle speed drops below 22 mph (35 km/h), ACC will
automatically cancel and no longer will apply your vehicle's brakes.
Always be prepared to apply the brake pedal when conditions require.
Canceling ACC
You can press CANCEL or MAIN, or press the brake
pedal. The ACC indicator goes off.
Certain conditions may cause ACC to cancel
automatically. When this happens, the amber ACC
indicator appears on the multi-information display
(see page 24).
After cruise control has been canceled, you can still resume the prior set speed by
pressing RES/ACCEL when your vehicle speed is over 25 mph (40 km/h).
WARNING
Improper use of ACC can lead to a crash.
Use ACC only when traveling on open highways in good weather.
